STREET SAYINGS.

A great many people in ST. Paul read with
sorrow the AssociatedsPress dispatch yester-
day morning that Joe" Bingham, formerly
a newspaper man In this city, had committed
suicide in Indianapolis. He was one of the
most agreeable of men TO meet, and had
friends wherever he was known. He was a
squaretoed newspaper man, who worked with
a taithfulnesS that is sometimes not noticed
in men OF such versatile talents as were his.
-
After he went to Chicago Joe" did some
reporting before he got his sit as city editor
of the afternoon edition of the Daily News.
They tell a story in Chicago of how he once
took occasion to even up on Times reporte +
who had broken faith with him one day to
secure ''scoop" on some piece of news.
An old resident and prominent man in Chi.
cago was seriously ill. have forgotten his
name, but he lived on Dearborn avenue, up
near Lincoln park-a mile and a half from
the newspaper offices. The old gentleman
was expected to die almost hourly, and each
paper had reporter watching for
the sad event every day. One night
Joe went up for the news, and found the pa
tent much better and likely to recover.
When he got down town he dropped into a
saloon for glass of beer and happened to
meet the Times man who had done him up
two or three days before. They had a beer
and the Times man said:
Il have TO go up to Lincoln park to find out
how old man - is tonight"
You needn't CO. said Joe. 81 was ust
up there and he died at 7:15 tonight. with his
family and physician at his bedside
The Times man thought that settled it, and
went to his Office. Next morning the Times
had notice of the death and half column
or so obituary notice, while the other papers
noted the fact that the subject of the obitu-
airy was likely to recover.
-
The warm weather of yesterday had tell
ing effect on the ice palace, and many of the
blocks on the southern and western sides fell
from their places. In spite of the slushy
condition Of Central park, numerous visitors
went UP there yesterday and waded up to the
entrance of the palace, apparently anxious to
get their feet wet with some Of the little rills
that trickled from what was once the central
figure of a winter carnival.

The Largest Farm in the world.


st. Louis Republican.
In the extreme southwest corner of Lou
isana lies the largest producing ia I'm in the
world. 1t runs 100 miles north and south
and - miles east and west, and is owned
by syndicate of Northern capitalists
Their general manager, j. B. Watkins,
gives all interesting account of this gigantic
plantation, which throws the great Dali
rymple farm in Dakota into the shade COM

D'The 1900. 600 acres of our tract" Mr..
Watkins said, twas purchased in 1888 from
the state of Louisiana and from the United
States government. At that time it was a
vast grazing land for the cattle of the few
dealers in the neighborhood.a When l took
possession found over 80, 900 head of half
wild horses and cattle. My work was to
divide the immense tract into convenient
pastures. establishing stations or ranches
every six miles The fencing alone cost in
the neighborhood of $50, 900. The land l
found to be best adapted to rice, sugar.
corn and cotton. All our cultivatng,
ditchlng, etc., is done by steam power. We
take tract, say half q mile wide. for in
stance, and place an engine on eace side.
The engines are portable and operate ca
bic attached to four plowS, and under the
arrangement we are able to pillow thirty
acres day with only the labor or three
men. Our narrowing, planting and other
cultivation is done in like manner; in
fact, there is not single draught horse on
| the entire place. We have. of course,
horses for the herders of cattle, of which
we now have 10000 head. The Southern
Pacific railroad runs for thirty-six miles
through our farm. We have three steam
boats operating on the waters of our own
estate, upon which there are 800 miles of
navigable waters. We have all ice house.

Numerous City AppOintments--Th
Health Commission TO BE Named
Later.
The appointments of Mayor Smith under
the new laws will be made to-day, except
possibly the health officer. Friends OF
other applicants have been laboring with
his honor to secure the appointment OF some
other than the present incumbent OF the
health commissioners office, and DR.. Jones'
friends are also anxious that he be retained.
There seems to be a good deal of excitement
about this Office. Mayor Smith said yeSter-
day that he should postpone the appoint
ment for time, but that members of the
board of public works and police appoint
ments under the new law would be named
to-day. He had no tips to give rs to whom
he should appoint, but thought the restrlc-.
ton that no two members of the
board of public works should come from one
ward was needless. He said he should APP
point no one on the board who would not
agree to give his time to the duties the
office. The mayor said that the Candidates
were very numerous and that men worth
from 500, 600 to $3.50, 900 were after these
positions. Under the law affecting the
police. which is especially to put the sub
station system into effect. the number OF
captains will be increased to four, there
being now but one. There will be four
lieutenants instead of TWO, eight Sergeants
instead of four, and two additional de-
tectives. Their places will be filled to-day,
and Mayor Smith said there was not man
on the force but thought he was fit for a
captaincy. He said he had been beseiged
by a great many people in relation to these
Offices He had lived III the city so long
that everybody knew him and took occasion
when they met him on the street to speak
in relation to some office.
1t is altogether probable that promotion
on the police force will be made in regular
order, with due regard to fitness and capa-
bilty. The three new captains will prob
able be chosen from the lieutenan.s and
sergeants, and the lieutenantcieS filled by
the sergeants who get left out in the selec-
tons of neutrality-suspicious. by two
men from the list of patrolmen. This will
leave the appointments to the eight sergeant
ships to be made from the patrolmen's
ranks, and the two new detectives will also
probably be chosen from among the patrol
men. The only question will then be
which of the four SergeantS will be made
captains and which lieutenants. SergeantS
Lowell and Rouleau have been Ion gest on
the force. but SergeantS Hanft and Murphy
are excellent officers and worthy of promo

tons. This was illustr ated in several ways.
Orthodoxy says there is no error in the Bible.
A man sees the falsty of this statement and
jumps to the conclusion that there is no truth
or worth in Holy Writ. Rational religion re-
stores the Bible to its proper place. 1t recog-
nizes Its value most when it protests against the
superstitious notions which have been taught
about ii. The liberal move ment in religion
broadens the foundation upon which tn @
argument for religion rests. 1t at1irms IN ore
than it denies. 1t gives more than it takes
away. The denial of all religion, because
some special type Of religious thought has
been disproved, is the same as the anarchists
hatred of all government, because some gov
ernments are tyrannical. Reason points the
way in both cases which is to labor to build
up better governments and better forms of
religion. -

The famous Blue Grottoe of Capri has
given rise to one of the most curious law
suits which have ever been heard. The
Vita Napolitana, writing on the subject,
says that some years ago an American
became pOssessor of that part of Capri I'M
der which the Blue Grotto is stu
ated, and the owner asserts now that as the
surface of the ground belongs to him, he is
also the owner of everything below it,
which in this case happens to be the grotto,
which, however. is at present the posses
sion of the little town of Capri the admin
stratiOn of which has not the slightest in
clination of giving up what is its own to the
Yankee.
The latter, OH being informed of this, has
begun lawsuit, the consequences of which,
whether he wins or loses the case, may be
very serious. In the former case he can
permanently injure the grotto by making a
hole through its ceiling, by which the mar
velous reflections in the interior will be lost
forever. If he wins it the chances are that
he will close it to the public.

sir Charles Dixie Gets a Fortune

LONDON daily news.
The following are the facts connected
with the fortune which Sir Oh aries Dixie
has just inherited: In 1904 Sir Charles
Dilke's great-aunt married john Snooke.
That gentleman left two sons. The
elder died eight years ago, and the
other only few weeks since,
the wives and children of both having pre-
deceased them. By the elder brothers will
his fortune was to be divided at the death
of his brother between Sir Charles Dixie
and Mr.. Ashton Dixie, unless the survivor
should have previously altered the will.
No alteration was made, and the original
will, under which Sir Charles Dixie will
take over hundred thousand pounds,
therefore holds good. The younger of the
brothers Snooke also leaves the bulk of his
property to Sir Charles bike The state
ment that these legacies were conditioned
upon Sir Charles Dixie taking the name of
Snooke is entirely without foundation.

And Il Party of Prominent ~. Paul
People Missed the Train ira Conse-
queNce.
There was too much kissing to be done;
that explains it, =
This was a remark made by HI. J. Peters
to group of well-known citizens of West
st. Paul. at the Minnesota & Northwestern
passenger depot. A train had just pulled
out from the station and a group looked
anXiOuSly in the direction of the Chicago
terminus of the steel rails that glistened
brightly in the warm sunshine. The party
was composed of Alderman Joseph Minea
and wire. Alderman E. r. Bryant and
wife. Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. Defe, Henry Mar
tin, Sheriff and Mrs. Fred Richter and
Commissioner Peters and wife. They were
intending to have taken that particular train
for Chicago, to go thence to Colorado via
Denver and Salt Lake City. They had
many friends to whom to say good-by
and were a bit late, and had missed
the train. which led Commissioner Peters
to make the remark above quoted: There
was too much kissing to be done; that ex-
plains it,.
where's Mr.. Lienau?' asked Aid. Mlnea.
Then it dawned on the party that G.. H.
Lienau and daughter, who were to have
maze part OF the group OF tourists, had
gotten on the train. and while they were
shivering amid the ice and slush that yet
hovers over West St. Paul, Mr.. Lienau
and Miss Lienau were speeding away
toward the land where oranges are getting
ripe.

response to Aid. Minea's question.

the alderman; I've got the tickets for the
whole crowd in my vest pocket
A consultation was had at once, which
might properly be called meeting of a
committee of ways and means. Finally, it
was arranged for the train to be stopped at
station or two down the Lille. and the
belated party was sent to overtake it in a
special car. chartered for the purpose. The
party will be away about six weeks, re-
turning by way OF st. Louis and New
